A spokesperson for Kabul police, Basir Mujahid told Reuters that “It was a car bomb near the German embassy, but there are several other important compounds and offices near there too.

Whistleblower arraigned for giving false information on Ekweremadu’s guesthouse

The Nigeria Police Force on Tuesday arraigned a 50-year-old man, Ahmed Echodo, for allegedly misleading the police to conduct a raid at a building belonging to the Deputy Senate President, Ike Ekweremadu, on Friday. According to the one-count charge, two defendants were accused of the offense, although only Mr. Echodo was arraigned at a magistrate court in Abuja. Security operatives had ransacked Mr. Ekweremadu’s building on Friday morning following information accusing the occupants of criminal offenses. They found nothing incriminating during the search. Security officers at the building located in Ganges street, Maitama, Abuja, told PREMIUM TIMES that the raid was conducted by police officers, under the instruction of the Inspector General of Police, IGP, Ibrahim Idris. Although that information was denied by the police spokesperson, Moshood Jimoh, the police on Tuesday charged the two men on a one-count of misleading the Nigeria Police. According to the charge, the men, Mr. Echodo and Maiwada Adamu, are accused of conspiring to falsely inform the office of the IGP that the building, occupied by Oliver Ogenyi, is being maintained and used for criminal activities including storage of arms and ammunition. The second accused, Mr. Adamu, was not in court while the first defendant pleaded not guilty to the charge. The prosecution counsel, Ismail Tawo, informed the court that Mr. Adamu was at large.

Mr. Kagarko adjourned till June 5, for ruling on the bail application.

WHOEVER WROTE THIS SHOULD BE GIVEN AN AWARD.

WHOEVER WROTE THIS SHOULD BE GIVEN AN AWARD.

I AM A WOMAN!!! 

So what?

I get into an argument with a man, he slaps me, I feel the pain, yet they tell me I provoked him. I should have been quiet, I should have been patient. I should apologize to him.

I get into an argument with a man, I slap him, they tell me I have no respect, no home training. I should have been quiet, I should have been patient. I should apologize to him.

Because I am a woman, I don't have a right to be angry. So, the degree of my innocence is directly proportional to the degree of my silence in the face of oppression and brutality.....

Because I am a woman, my husband cheats on me, I am told to tolerate it to save my marriage. The barbaric and stupid excuse is that ''it is in their nature to cheat, I should slim down, dress better, cook better, pray harder and be more pleasant to him"

I cheat, and I am called a whore, I have committed an abomination, I have no right to look elsewhere for the love and emotional support I lack at home, I am an irresponsible mother.

So I am sent packing, from the home we both built, with all my earthly possessions stuffed into a tiny box on my head. I am henceforth forbidden from seeing my two older children, I'm lucky to be allowed to go with my little one still suckling on my left breast. Three years later, the little one is tagged a bastard. Now, my new name is "after-three", because I am a woman.

He is 28 and runs a company. He's tagged wonderful, hardworking, focused, career oriented, successful at a very young age.

I am 28 and I run a company "Hmmmm.... she is not even married, unserious, can not order her priorities right, a hustler, loves money, let her go and get a husband oh"

And I wonder if being successful has anything to do with a person's gender.

Because I am a woman,

I am not allowed to have wits or be a prodigy, I cannot be financially buoyant, professionally successful or be treated with respect without a man beside me.

Then I am tagged a generous leg opener, "a runs girl". They never see the possibility that I actually had to go through ups and downs to get to where I am, because I am a woman.

A man looses his wife to death and remarries a year after, he did the right thing, he's being praised and congratulated for moving on, after all life is for the living.

A woman looses her husband to death and remarries after 4yrs, "aaah! so early? Are u sure she wasn't sleeping with that man even when her husband was alive? That was why she killed her husband. She's a witch! Because she's a woman.

A Very Humbling Experience

A very humbling experience ....

Amitabh Bacchan says... "At the peak of my career, I was once travelling by plane. The passenger next to me was an elderly gentleman dressed in a simple shirt and pants. He appeared to be middle class, and well educated.

Other passengers  perhaps recognising who I was, but this gentleman appeared to be
unconcerned of my presence... He was reading his paper, looking out of the window, and when tea was served, he sipped it quietly.

Trying to strike a conversation with him, I smiled. The man courteously smiled back and said 'Hello'.
We got talking and I brought up the subject of cinema and movies and asked, 'Do you watch films?'
The man replied, 'Oh, very few. I did see one many years ago.'

I mentioned that I worked in the movie industry.
 The man replied.." oh, that’s nice. What do you do?' I replied, 'I am an actor ' The man nodded, 'Oh,  that's wonderful!'

And that was it...
When we landed, I held out my hand and said, " It was good traveling with you. By the way, my name is Amitabh Bacchan!'

The man shook my hand
and smiled, "Thank you... nice to have met you..
I am J.R.D. Tata!" (French born Indian Biz man. Billionaire and Aviator founder of Tata motors  and Air india).

I learned on that day that no matter how big you think you are, there is always someone BIGGER.
Be HUMBLE, it costs nothing.

WRONG PHILOSOPHIES

DON'T LIMIT YOURSELF WITH ANY TRADITIONAL BELIEFS.

GET THE RIGHT INFORMATION AND MAKE UNDENIABLE EXPLOITS..

1. "WHATEVER WILL BE, WILL BE"

Whatever will be will not be; you have to make it be. You have a part to play in what will be in your life, either for the good to happen or the bad to be avoided. Don't leave it to chance.

2. "HALF BREAD IS BETTER THAN NONE!"

Why settle for half bread when you can get  a full bread or even own a bakery. This is a limiting belief that positions you to settle for less and it is a mediocre philosophy.

3. "A FOOL AT FORTY IS A FOOL FOREVER" 

A fool at any age can be a fool forever if he refuses to let go of his foolishness. It is never too late to become wise because the day you wake up and wise up is the day you CHANGE for the better!

4. "ALL FINGERS ARE NOT EQUAL"

Yes! Physical fingers in your hands are not equal but that does not make any of them valueless. Each serves a purpose. Lose one and you realise that they are all valuable. You are not even a finger, so why look down on yourself.

5. "LIFE BEGINS AT FORTY"

If you are below forty and believe this, I feel so sorry for you because it means you are not yet alive.  

6. "WHAT GOES UP MUST COME DOWN"

Is your age coming down? Is your wisdom and knowledge coming down? Is the price of goods coming down? Think my friend!

7. "HE WHO LAUGHS LAST, LAUGHS BEST!"

Why laugh last when you can laugh always and why laugh best when laughter is not a competition. When we programmed ourselves with these strange philosophies, they limit and restrict us.

```Change the way you think and talk.. 

You will change your world.

You have the opportunity to RECREATE YOUR WORLD. 

Have a nice day Champions.

David Mark Is Not Happy that I became his governor – Ortom

He said the items were meant for displaced persons in his state and not the youths as widely reported.

Ortom made the clarification in an interview with State House correspondents at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.

The governor singled out Mark, who he accused of spreading falsehood against people who were supposed to be his subjects because he was angry over his emergence as governor.

Mark had in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, during the week carpeted Ortom for empowering youths in the state with wheelbarrows while his counterpart in Rivers State, Nyesom Wike, is embarking on laudable projects.

Ortom said, “Those wheelbarrows were brought to us by NEMA, to be distributed to displaced people who need them.

“They (the displaced persons) actually need those wheelbarrows and they were given to the state emergency relief body for onward distribution to the victims.

“And for whatever reasons, the agency wrote my name that I was distributing them. But as soon as that was drawn to my attention, I refuted it and I said this not my property.

“In empowerment, I have several programmes for the youth and these one are not meant for the youth. They were distributed to displaced people.

“So it was just meant to blackmail me because PDP members in Benue including David Mark are still dreaming that I am governor and I wonelection. I left them because of the injustice they did to me and I came to APC and found a platform. The people accepted me and I won.

 “They are out to blackmail me and it will not work because there is no iota of truth.”
